Chicago gives new meaning to the term "getting jacked"

[FakeNews]

Carjackings in Chicago surged to their highest number in at least 10 years, statistics show, a trend that has unnerved residents and visitors alike.

While much of the city’s attention was focused on the rise in shootings and homicides over the past two years, carjackings spiked in 2016, as numbers in other crime categories also rose.

This year, carjackings spiked even higher, hitting their largest tally in at least a decade, with 967 carjackings through Wednesday, according to Chicago Police Department statistics.

The city had 682 carjackings for all of 2016, more than double the tallies from each of the two previous years. The last year the city even approached 900 carjackings was in 2007, when 898 were recorded. Since then, the numbers dropped year over year until 2015.

Chicago is so crime riddled its why I chose it for the setting of my series featuring a witch vs the mafia. I can write shootings, fires and dead bodies everywhere and...its a day like any other there.

Chicago also features Bachelor's Grove...one of the most haunted cemetery's in the country

FakeNews just proved Chicago was a Bush problem and continues to be a problem under 45 who promised the MAGA Posse he'd clean house.

Oops.

Wasn't Trump supposed to send the feds in there? It was one of the few things he promised that I actually thought was a good idea.

Where change never came: Obama's hometown

CNN's random act of journalism...

When President Obama spoke of hope and change in 2008, Ja'Mal Green, a community organizer, believed it would translate to safety on his block.

But that's not the reality he sees as he walks the South Side streets today. He points to last year's spike in violence: 762 were killed in 2016, more than New York and Los Angeles combined.

"We are not going to be saying thank you for the eight years of work that he didn't do in the black communities," Green says of Obama's return to Chicago.

During Obama's tenure in the White House, 3,917 people were murdered in Chicago, police records show.

You already proved your point, dummy. Bush & 45 are just as, or as not, responsible for Chicago as Obama.

Tromp long ago pledged to send troops into Chicago to maintain order.

[/me looks around fruitlessly]

I know what troops in the streets look like. I was in Mexico City in summer 1974 and I felt zero fear of being mugged, not with that occupation force. But I kept my hands visible at all times.

Donnie said he'd clean out Chicago. Lock her up!
